Kirsty Cameron

Kirsty Cameron started in short film and art installation, before costume designing the first of around 20 feature films — including the acclaimed Whale Rider, The Orator   , Slow West, and No. 2. Her list of awards also includes The Orator and TV movie Jean, about aviator Jean Batten. Cameron's third short as writer/ director, teen fable The Lethal Innocents, was invited to festivals in Sweden, Germany and the USA. 

I fell in love with arthouse film-making, with storytelling and the cinematic vision, and with how bringing a character to life requires working on both subconscious and conscious levels. Kirsty Cameron
